Raffles University

Great spaces do more than look good. They shape the way we live, work, connect, and experience the world around us.

At Raffles University’s Faculty of Built Environment and Regenerative Design, students learn to combine creativity, functionality, and sustainability to design spaces that make a meaningful impact on people and communities.

Whether your passion lies in interior design or creating a more sustainable built environment, your journey starts here.

Programmes Available

Design spaces. Shape experiences. Create a better future.

Behind every pitch is a person. 📸

We loved hosting the Projects for Happiness 2.0 pitching session, but some of the best moments happened away from the presentations.

The nervous laughs before stepping up. The relieved smiles afterwards. The candid conversations between sessions. The friendships forming between students from different universities who had never met before that morning.

These are the moments that often go unseen, yet they are just as important as the ideas being presented.

This is what community looks like before it becomes a project. It is also why Projects for Happiness matters. Not only because of the grants awarded, but because it creates opportunities for young people from across Malaysia to come together, share ideas, and discover a common purpose.

To every student who pitched, supported a teammate, shared a conversation, or simply brought positive energy into the room, thank you for being part of the experience. 💛

Design is never just about what you make. It is about why you continue making it and how you grow through the process.

At Raffles University, we believe design education extends beyond the classroom. It is shaped through exposure, dialogue, and engagement with real world creative practice.

This June, we invite you to “Past, Present, Future”, a design sharing session with Jay Lim and Vivian Toh, founders of CUTOUT Magazine, TSUBAKI Studio, and HASURISO.

As part of our commitment to connecting students with meaningful industry perspectives, this session explores what it takes to build and sustain a creative practice, from uncertain beginnings and defining moments to growth, evolution, and renewed direction.

Drawing from their experiences in publishing, independent practice, and creative direction, Jay and Vivian will share insights into how designers navigate change, develop their creative voice, and respond to an evolving design landscape.

Whether you are starting out or rethinking your path, this session offers an opportunity to reflect, question, and expand your understanding of design and creative practice.

Date: 3 June 2026
Time: 3pm – 4pm
Venue: Raffles University Medini Campus, G1 & G2

Happy Wesak Day to all who celebrate.

May this sacred day bring peace, happiness, and enlightenment to all. May the spirit of compassion, mindfulness, and kindness continue to inspire harmony within our communities and everyday lives.

Wishing everyone a meaningful and peaceful Wesak Day.

Orientation at Raffles University is more than an introduction, it is the beginning of a meaningful academic and personal journey.

Through structured briefings, campus exposure, and student engagement activities, new students are welcomed into a supportive learning environment that encourages growth, confidence, and collaboration.

We believe every student’s journey begins with belonging, and we are committed to nurturing that experience from day one.

Welcome to Raffles University, where your future begins with purpose.

Raffles University warmly welcomes all new students to Orientation Day, marking the beginning of an exciting academic journey.

The orientation programme introduces students to campus life, academic expectations, student services, and the vibrant community that supports their development both inside and outside the classroom.

This transition period is designed to help students settle in, build connections, and gain a clear understanding of their learning journey ahead.

We look forward to seeing our new students grow, thrive, and make the most of their time at Raffles University.

Happiness, it seems, is best experienced in person.

Raffles University was honoured to host the Projects for Happiness 2.0 pitching session organised by My Starfish Foundation, welcoming ten student teams from five Malaysian universities to our campus, including UiTM, IMU, UTHM, and UTM.

Throughout the session, students presented community-driven initiatives that reflected both creativity and compassion. From improving community livelihoods to advocating mental wellbeing and celebrating arts and culture, the ideas shared were thoughtful, purposeful, and grounded in genuine human connection.

What made the experience especially meaningful was witnessing young people speak about kindness, empathy, and social change with such conviction and clarity. It served as a timely reminder of the role universities can play in shaping not only capable graduates, but also socially conscious individuals who are willing to contribute back to the community.

Congratulations to all the winning teams. The grants may mark the beginning of the journey, but the impact of these ideas has already begun.
